LAS VEGAS -- Arizona will face Oregon in a Pac-12 Tournament semifinal game Friday at 5 p.m. after the Ducks hung on to beat UCLA 67-66 in the quarterfinals Thursday afternoon at T-Mobile Arena.

The game will be carried on Pac-12 Networks, the final men's basketball game to be shown on the conference's own platform.

The Ducks trailed UCLA 34-29 at halftime, then took a 10-point lead with 4:13 left before the Bruins cut it back within a point. But UCLA never regained its lead in the final minutes, with Oregon center N'Faly Dante hitting a hook shot with 35 seconds left and the Ducks making 3 of 4 free throws in the final 10 seconds.

Arizona beat Oregon twice during the regular season, 87-78 on Jan. 27 in Eugene and 103-83 on March 2 at McKale Center.
